Magpies Peacocks SUSTAINABILITY Magpies Peacocks has collected over 195 tons of post consumer textiles and accessories since 2011. 25 of the donated items are used to supply materials to local schools colleges and extracurricular programs the balance are repaired reworked or upcycled into new collections for sale. As part of Magpies Peacocks Arts Education program we teach young designers about sustainable fashion practices and incorporating post consumer textiles into their production process to decrease the large percentage of textile waste that hits landfill. Houston boasts one of the largest consumer economies in the country but as a port city it is also home to many of the nations largest textile recycling plants that process ship out and sell our post consumer textile waste problem to developing countries.
